Sommario/riassunto

This is a socio-historical study of schooling at Chikuni, a Jesuit mission station in Southern Zambia. It includes an examination of the dynamic processes operative at the mission over a 75 year period. During these years, the Jesuits interacted with successive generations of students and converts and with the representatives of successive political regimes, all of which were secular but each willing to use the mission as a means to its own ends. For many years Chikuni was the major representative of the Catholic church in southern Zambia. The emergence of a Catholic community is of its making. As its educational role expanded it also helped to form many who became leaders in post-independence Zambia. Though the Jesuits had not planned a political revolution, unwittingly they helped to bring one about. While



the study identifies some of the difficulties connected with running a denominational school in present day Zambia, it argues for a more pivotal positioning of conversion as a socio-personal religious phenomenon in the curriculum if the mission school is to continue to be an effective agent of transformation.

Sommario/riassunto

Das »Metzler Lexikon Sprache« informiert in rund 5000 Einträgen über das Gesamtgebiet der Sprachwissenschaft und gibt einen Überblick über die Sprachen der Welt - illustriert durch vierfarbige Sprachkarten. Den Schwerpunkt bilden grammatische Begriffe aus den verschiedenen Feldern der Sprachwissenschaft wie Phonetik, Phonologie, Lexikologie, Morphologie, Syntax, Semantik und Pragmatik. Das Lexikon erfasst zudem die Terminologie der historischen Sprachwissenschaft und zentraler Strömungen der Linguistik (z.B. der generativen Grammatik und der Valenzgrammatik). In großem Umfang sind auch Begriffe aus interdisziplinären Arbeitsfeldern wie Spracherwerbsforschung, Soziolinguistik, Sprachphilosophie, Textlinguistik und Computerlinguistik aufgenommen. Für die fünfte Auflage wurde das Lexikon grundlegend überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Zahlreiche Artikel aus verschiedenen Bereichen wurden neu verfasst - insbesondere aus



Soziolinguistik, Dialektologie, Grammatik, Text- und Neurolinguistik.
